Measuring for your Murphy Bed is "Easy"

Measuring is one of the most important steps when considering purchasing a Murphy Bed. Height, Width, Depth (when closed), and Projection from the wall (when open) will allow you to easily see how your murphy bed (and possibly side cabinets) will fit on on your wall in your room. Please keep in mind that the murphy bed comes in either 6 or 7 pieces (depending on type of murphy bed), which means the dimensions you see below are when the bed is put together and NOT how it is delivered. All of our designs, both vertical and horizontal, are standard sizes, meaning they are built to accommodate all standard sized mattresses (Twin, Full/Double, Queen)(NO KING). These standard sized designs make finding the perfect, but no thicker than 12”, innerspring mattress a breeze. We can accommodate mattresses thicker than 12", but at an additional charge. Contact us if you have a non-standard mattress in mind (i.e. Tempur-Pedic, Latex, Pillow-top, etc.). We can let you know how this will affect the construction of your wall bed.

Our twin designs have ample room for sleeping a single adult or child. Our queen and double designs offer more than enough space to comfortably sleep two adults.

If your room has ample ceiling height and adequate floor space, the vertical design is your best option. With a variety of face designs and stain colors to choose from, your fully functioning, space-saving bed becomes a beautifully hidden secret. Below is a table fully describing the overall dimensions of the different sized beds for our Vertical Beds.

Vertical Murphy Dimensions

If your room has ample ceiling height and adequate floor space, the vertical design is your best option. Vertical beds are the most common beds that our customers purchase. They are very similar to a normal bed where one (or two) people can enter the bed from either side. To view our Vertical Murphy Beds: CLICK HERE

**Projection is the dimension from the wall to the outside of the bed frame in the open position.

Horizontal Murphy Dimensions

If your room has lower ceilings, perhaps our horizontal design is the best solution. Once opened, our horizontal bed gives you the comfort you need for a good night’s sleep. The added functionality of an eye-level shelf is yet another added bonus of our horizontal designs.

Vertical Side Cabinet Dimensions

Vertical Side Cabinets are a great addition to your Vertical Murphy Bed if you are looking for extra hidden storage and/or a way to display decorations. Side Cabinets come in a variety of options, from all opens shelves, to doors and drawers. You have your choice of three different widths: 30 inches, 24 inches, or 18 inches (Custom widths are available and require orders to be placed over the phone). In order to account for the total width of a project when purchasing one or two (or more) Side cabinets with your murphy bed, just simply add all the widths together. Our murphy beds height will step below the murphy bed crown molding and will be less in depth than the Murphy Bed. The Side cabinet will easily install next to the murphy bed on either the right or left side, or even in between two murphy beds or cabinets. Cabinet doors will swing away from the murphy bed as a standard. Side Cabinets can also be ordered at a later date after receiving your murphy bed to allow you to see if the cabinets will be necessary.
